Sunlust

Sunlust is a 32-map megawad for Boom-compatible source ports, created by Zachary Stephens (Ribbiks) and Daniel Jakobsson (dannebubinga). It is notorious for its high level of difficulty.

Development started in March 2013, and the first public beta was released on June 13, 2015. The final version was released to the idgames archive on August 9, 2015, and it won a Cacoward that year.
